  1. "In Your Eyes" is a song by the English #rock musician #PeterGabriel from his fifth solo studio album So (1986). It features #YoussouNDour singing a part at the end of the song translated into his native #Wolof. Gabriel's lyrics were inspired by an African tradition of ambiguity in song between romantic love and love of God. "#InYourEyes" was not released as a single in the UK but was the second single from So in the US, achieving strong radio airplay.

  8. #BassirouDiomayeFaye I'm curious how succesful the approach to "replace French as [#Senegal]'s official language" is this time – when parliamentary debates are still being held in #Wolof but logged in French. When kids are still instructed with a foreign language from elementary school days on.

    #Senghor or #Wade also came up with ideas and dropped them upon sight on power.

  12. Une séance de #karaoke ce soir m’a ramené à réécouter et rechercher Les Colocs.

    Je sais pas pourquoi mais dans le temps de l’école secondaire on pensait que les paroles du refrain de “Tassez-vous de d'là” étaient dans une langue inventée. Faut dire que l’internet était pas ce qu’il est maintenant.

    C’est en #Wolof, une langue du Sénégal.

  23. #sprache #linguistik #zeiten

    Zeitstufen werden im Deutschen über Verben ausgedrückt:
    "Sie besteht die Prüfung./Sie bestand die Prüfung./Sie wird die Prüfung bestehen."

    Manche Sprachen machen das aber am Pronomen. Als ob wir im Deutschen neben "sie" noch "tie" und "mie" sagen würden.

    Dann liegt "Tie besteht die Prüfung" in der Vergangenheit und "Mie besteht die Prüfung in der Zukunft." Das Verb bleibt immer gleich.

    Eine Sprache, die das so macht, ist #Wolof im #Senegal.
